Group sessions split a coach's attention a dozen ways. Private coaching doesn't. Every session is built around your player: their current ability, their goals, and the specific things holding them back.
Every player is different, so every session starts from where they actually are. Your first session is part assessment: I look at skating, puck handling, shooting and decision-making, then build a plan around the gaps that matter most.
From there, sessions are structured and progressive. We work on specific skills, repeat them properly, and build them into game situations so they hold up under pressure — not just in drills. Players finish each session knowing what improved and what's next.
Every block starts with a planning session — me, you and your player, together. We agree on what they're chasing, then map the block around it: which programs, which skills, in what order. From there, every session is tracked against that plan, so by the end you can see exactly where the ten hours went and what improved.
This is how I keep every block honest — a clear goal, a real plan, and a record of the work. It's the structure most private coaching never offers.
Skaters only — goalie-specific coaching isn't offered.
One-on-one is the most focused option — the full hour on your player alone.
Two players share a session and split the cost. It works well for friends, siblings or linemates of a similar level who push each other — and it brings the per-player cost down to around $50 a session on a block. Two-player sessions are available as blocks only.
| Single session | Block of 10 | Per session on a block | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-on-one | $90 | $800 | $80 |
| Two players (shared) | — | $1,000 | ~$50 each |
This isn't my fee — it's the arena's. The pass gives your player swipe-card access and covers their ice time across all stick & puck sessions, not just ours. You pay it to Cockburn Ice Arena directly.
So, realistically: a player training once a week is looking at roughly $155/month for ice access, plus session fees ($80–$90 each). I'd rather you know that now than be surprised later.

Cockburn Ice Arena. All sessions run here. Mornings: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Early ice is deliberate. It's quieter, the surface is fresh, and it's the time committed players train — before school, before work, before the day gets in the way.
Tell me about your player — age, how long they've skated, and what they want to work on — and I'll come back to you. Sessions are currently full; this joins the waitlist.
